Pulse Nightclub

Nearly 10 years after the Pulse nightclub shooting, the building where 49 people were killed is coming down.

In a step towards a permanent memorial to those killed and injured in the 2016 mass shooting, the City of Orlando takes down the iconic Pulse Nightclub sign.

Work crews began the first steps of removing the Pulse Nightclub's iconic sign, all part of the city's plan to build a permanent memorial.

Nearly 10 years after the mass shooting, the City of Orlando has design plans to honor the 49 people who lost their lives at the Pulse Nightclub.

Crews began moving artifacts from inside the Pulse Nightclub ahead of plans to begin clearing the site next year.

Under the funding agreement, Orange County pays $5 million and Orlando is responsible for the rest along with any cost overruns.

The rainbow battle for the crosswalk on Orange Avenue and Esther Street continued Friday with new signs placed on the road stating that "defacing" the crosswalk is prohibited.

Florida is cracking down on street art. Tampa and St. Petersburg have until Sept. 4 to remove it all. Gov. Ron DeSantis calls it a safety hazard, but others don't buy it.

Protesters raised signs and waved large Pride flags as drivers on South Orange Avenue in Orlando honked their horns. People used chalk to color the crosswalk in bright hues.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis responded on X, saying he wouldn't allow "state roads to be commandeered for political purposes."

Officials say that the crosswalk, a tribute to the 49 victims who died during the 2016 mass shooting, was painted over overnight.

About 250 people are participating in the visits. Among them are family members of 25 of the 49 people killed by the gunman.
